After looking at what this year’s draft class could have done to spark the Cowboys offense during last season, it’s time to do the same for Dan Quinn’s defense. Quinn’s first draft with the Cowboys brought in eight new defenders, most notably first-rounder Micah Parsons.
The Cowboys have a lot to look forward to in year two under Quinn, with veterans like DeMarcus Lawrence and Leighton Vander Esch back in the lineup, improved play from second-year players like Osa Odighizuwa and Jabril Cox, as well as five new rookies as reinforcements.
It was the Cowboys defense that kept this team in games when the offense struggled, and with much more lost on that side of the ball this offseason, they may have to do much more of the same in 2022.
